Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 01, 2017
Worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ is the first and foremost commandment for the Christian Church. We may not build physical idols, but we craft idols every time we separate the Divinity and Humanity, principle from specific application. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAHealing Spiritual Leprosy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 01, 2017
This Sunday we are going to talk about the disease of leprosy in the Bible. Having this disease would result in becoming an outcast, cut off from the community and from God. Yet the Lord reached out to a leper, even physically touching him, to bring him back into the community and into a relationship with God. When we have made choices that cut us off from the Lord and from others, this is the miracle that He can perform: to reach out to us in our shame and draw us back into His loving embrace. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAWhy Forgive?

What is the connection between forgiveness, faith, and love? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallHappiness, Part 4 - Happiness and Relationships
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 24, 2017
True happiness comes from love, and love is to feel the joy in another as joy in ourselves. And because we are emotionally interconnected we either contribute to happiness of others by loving them, or destroy it by loving a selfish delight. With the Lord's help we can become truly loving which means we are happy and a source of happiness for others. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAHappiness, Part 2 - 3 Ways We Undermine Happiness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 10, 2017
Three ways we undermine our happiness: 1) we pursue false gods, 2) we focus on unhappiness, 3) we focus on happiness. The first step in any spiritual growth process is to clear the field of mistakes so the Lord can work, and in this case give us happiness. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAGod's Healing Forgiveness
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 10, 2017
We all have times when we become paralyzed by evil and falsity. We want desperately to be good but for some reason we cannot seem to let go of harmful thoughts and feelings. The Lord's forgiveness offers us a way out of this spiritual paralysis: when we raise our thoughts to Him. He heals us through His forgiveness, and in that healing we find freedom for our minds. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAJonah, Part 4 - Right to be Angry?
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 27, 2017
The Lord asks us to look at the source and value of our anger. It is not wrong to be angry, but there are different kinds of anger and we are responsible to evaluate our anger and act appropriately. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAJonah, Part 3 - Turn from the Evil Way
